Red Currant Chocolate Mousse Cake

in #hive-120586 ā€¢ 2 years ago

Greetings fellow food lovers! šŸ‘½šŸ‘‹
I've been off the internet for a while, intentionally for a bit of detox from the news and all. šŸ™ˆšŸ™‰
But I always kept our community in mind. šŸ™šŸ€šŸŒ¼

Preparing the mousse will not take you much time, as it is a no-bake dessert. It just needs some time to chill in the fridge, preferably overnight.
A perfect mousse is soft and creamy, but still holds together in the shape we like.
The list of the ingredients we can add in our mousse is almost endless. To make it a little bit crunchy, add ingredients as cookie crumbles, puffed rice, nuts... For a little acidity and a colorful look, add some fresh sour berries or just any other type of sour fruit makes the taste heavenly harmonious.

I combined the chocolate mousse with red currants, which contrasted the bitter-sweet and sour taste. The currants melted in the middle, almost like jam, and created an attractive appearance when cutting the cake.
I added puffed rice to make the bottom layer to hold the currant berries, not escape from the bottom of the mousse.
The puffed rice also adds some crunch and tempers the richness of the chocolate and tartness of the red currants.

    Stir slowly with a wooden spoon until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and have a smooth and creamy texture.

  3. Cover the cake mold with baking paper (if you are using a silicone cake mold, you don't need baking paper).
  4. Pour a little chocolate mousse in the mold to cover the bottom.

  6. Decorate with cocoa powder. You can help yourself by using strips of paper to make beautiful decorations that match your style.
    Adding some red currants on top makes the cake more attractive.

So nice to see you back with one of your absolute beauties. I've been feeling desert lately but I'm not great with deserts. I love chocolate so this is a good recipe to try for me. It looks amazing with the oozing centre.

Hope to see you around more but I know what you mean about detoxing from the craziness.

So great to be back and hear from you!šŸ¤—šŸ’š

Feels great to be back and hear from my friends here! I've missed all of you guys too šŸ¤—šŸ˜ŠšŸ’š

This recipe is very simple and everyone will always love it.
Because of the lack of time we always love recipes that don't take a lot of time to prepare. Somehow I still like to complicate when preparing food. šŸ˜„

mmm very tempting. we have a big red currant bush in the garden and more berries than we normally use with so come july this may be on the table. thanks for posting

You are really blessed with this beauiful plants and to get a big harvest. Currant is super healthful, it contains loads of antyoxidants and vitamins.
To be honest, currant is way too sour for me, so I always have to hide it in a dessert or a syrup. But I never yet tried it with savoury dishes, would be interesting to try.
